Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mrs. Yue’s bold statement made Yan Qingsi laughed.
“What are you laughing at? This old woman is the vilest, most deceiving person ever. I’m telling you now; if you do happen to run into her in the future, and if she happens to offend you with her tongue when I’m not there with you, do not show her mercy and just destroy her. Let me tell you something. Their entire family, whoever gets married to her son is indeed unfortunate,” Mrs. Yue said as she patted Qingsi’s thighs.
Reading between the lines, Mrs. Yue was seizing every chance she gets to fill Qingsi’s head with how awful the entire Helan family was.
Yue Tingfeng sneakingly gave his mother a thumbs up, as he thought about how she had saved her wisdom for all these years only to show it today.
Yan Qingsi nodded and said, “Yeah, I’ll remember that.”
It was her first time being in a situation like that and she never had to speak up for herself, However, the feeling of being defended by people warms her heart. It was addicting.
“Mom, had she been looking for you lately?” Yue Tingfeng asked.
Mrs. Yue pouted and said, “It’s always about that incident at that broken stall years ago. I don’t want to talk about it. It’s stressing me out just thinking about it. She never gets tired competing with me. Contrary to that, she places all the weight of her attitude toward me. We’re both getting older by the second, what’s left to even compete with? We have so…little time left on Earth.”
Mrs. Yue had always remained as neutral as she could. She never enjoyed showing off and had always been innocent and naive amongst her social circle. She had quite a casual personality. This made everyone in her social circle assumed she had always been naive and foolish!
“I know. Which is why you will live longer than her.” Yue Tingfeng replied.
Mrs. Yue lifted her chin and said, “Of course, since she’s always so calculative and spends so much time plotting who knows what. Bluntly speaking, she had the appearance of someone who would spend the better part of her life working and scheming tirelessly. Of course she’ll die earlier than me. That reminds me, did you guys know what she was scheming today?”
“What exactly?” Yue Tingfeng asked.
“She brought that girl Zhou Ning with her while we were shopping earlier. The entire day, she kept going on and on about how amazing of a person her niece was as if she was really one of a kind. Then, she kept pestering me to call you out for lunch. I saw right through her. Her only intentions were to get you to date her beloved niece. Just look at her. A no-name designer acting all arrogant. She has to learn to know her place. I was annoyed so I called you out just to spite her,” Mrs. Yue Said.
“Mom, you’re brilliant,” Yue Tingfeng replied.
“That is…”
…
On the other side of the coin, however, Zhou Ning was driving alone. Mrs. Helan looked awful after that very tense meal.
Helan Xiuse shook Mrs. Helan’s arm and said, “Mom, please don’t be mad.”
Mrs. Helan exclaimed with a cold voice. “I’m not mad. She’s not worth my anger. I have both my children and my family is happy. What does she have? Her husband has not been home for a very long while. She’s just like a widow, and she had the audacity to show off in my face. She needs to know her place.”
Helan Fangnian frowned and said unsatisfyingly, “Mom…”
Mrs. Helan knew what her son was upset about. She simply replied, “I’m not wrong here. Nothing I’ve said was wrong.”
“This old woman. She acted like a fool for half her lifespan and now she suddenly wised up from nowhere. I didn’t expect her to be capable of saying what she said today,” Mrs. Helan added.
This statement made Helan Xiuse upset as her expression changed. She replied, “Mom, Mrs. Yue had been quite patient with you previously.”
Seeing that her daughter was upset, Mrs. Helan frantically said, “Alright, alright. Mom will stop being mad now okay sweetheart. You’ll have to stop too. Staying mad will not look pretty, honey.”
Mrs. Helan let out a long sigh as she extended her hand to caress Helan Xiuse’s face and said, “Xiuxiu, I will do everything in my power to make sure you get married into a nice home. I want my sweet daughter to be the happiest and luckiest girl in the world. Anything you want—wealth, fame and anything at all—I’ll make sure you have anything you can ever dream of.”
